The speaker of the afternoon was 
Mrs. Kate Upson Clark of Brooklyn, 
editorial writer for the Brooklyn 
Eagle and literary editor of the 
Christian Herald. Her subject was 
‘‘Effect of Women’s Clubs on the 
Home.’’ It was presented in a 
breezy and vivacious manner inter- 
spersed with humor—and_ telling 
stories and anecdotes to illustrate 
the various important points. 
Mrs. Clark is a well seasoned and 
veteran club-woman_ and_ talked 
authoritatively and impressively in 
relation to her subject. In part she 
stated that the home as an effete in- 
stitution had got to go. There was 
something higher than mere drudg- 
ery. In this respect the women’s 
clubs had helped to simplify home 
work. 
In relation to the women  them- 
selves, they had developed a com- 
radeship and friendship which was 
very lasting. This new development 
had broken down their natural con- 
servatism. They have learned to 
love and admire other women, re- 
spect other women’s opinions. They 
have learned to work together. In

respect to domestic life, these clubs 
had been the greatest aid. Women 
have grown tolerant and less big- 
oted. They have elevated the plane 
of the home through club influence. 
A higher, freer life has been insti- 
tuted. The home has become a place 
for the growth of the mind and soul. 
The sense of proportion in the 
conduct of affairs has been strongly 
emphasized. Women today see 
large things large, small things 
small. There has been a strong sex 
emphasis. 
As to human interests, the wo- 
men’s clubs have made radical re- 
forms in civie life, helped the great 
national movements, a stimulous to 
themselves and others. 
Personally they have created for 
themselves new personalities. They 
have grown more interesting, better 
read, more influential to their fam- 
ily circles. They have learned the 
use and value of money through 
club business dealings. 
The club as an institution has 
proven the middle aged womn’s uni- 
versity. It has developed ideals for 
domestic life. Following these 
ideals their destinies have been 
reached and actual knowledge 
amassed. 
There is-one last duty yet for the 
Women’s clubs to perform: the re-— 
form in dress. From a physical - 
standpoint and benefit this is im- 
perative. 
Mrs. Clark was heartily applauded 
at the close of her address. She 
likewise received many personal 
congratulations. 
During the social period, Mrs. Ida 
Dodge served as hostess. The tea 
table was presided over by Mrs. 
Marianna Cheever and Mrs. Alice P. 
Hinchliffe. 
Previous to the lecture little Miss 
Brenda Cook rendered a song very 
sweetly, ‘‘Can’t you come out and 
play?”’ by Herbert Ingraham. Mrs. 
Kdith L. Williams served as accom- 
panist. 
NO TOBACCO THERE. 
“Why don’t you try one of those 
tobacco cures on your son?” asked 
Gaddie. 
“That wouldn’t have any effect on 
him,” replied Popley. 
“Oh! yes; they simply kill all appe- 
tite for tobacco.” 
“But he smokes cigarettes.’—Cath- 
olic Standard. 
Just how far does the kitchen 
range?
